heart, if the boy went wrong. It looks like this procedure keeps the boy
pretty much in line if he keeps his agreement with the high school that
he is nlaying for.

Forebel used the vrinciple of education through pley in his kindergarten
theory. Isn't this the same principle that you are discussing here? Why
wouldn't this be a good theory to work with the girls in their physical
education? I saw somewhere not long ago that there are more girls smok-
ing cigarettes in America than boys. Tell me if I am wrong.

I have also seen this statement. Of course, we do not expect girls to
participate in competitive interscholastic athletics to the extent thet
boys do. The educator has failed to fini something that will srip and
hold the girls’ interest in the perfection of her physicel development
for an immediate vurnose the same as they heave done for the boys and men.
Perhaps that is the next great discovery for the educator. At least, we
hope so. You will remember it was Maude Royden, of England, who said,
"You cannot break Nature's laws, but you can break yourself against Na-
ture's laws." The joy of zestful living should be a worthwhile stimulus
to any intelligent individual, @on't you think, Dr. Naismith?

Yes, and do not forget these lines:

"God make us wise to know
How strong the stalk must erow,
That rears so fair a flower."

Thank you, Dr. Naismith, and you, too, Dr. Chambers, but - say, our time
is up, and we heve yet to hear from Nelson Sulliven, our intramural
sports announcer atop of Mount Oread. Sully, can you pinch hit, You are
up to bat. Start swinging!
